What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and restore facial structure. Made primarily from acrylic resin and occasionally incorporating metal components, modern dentures are both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. They offer individuals the freedom to smile, chew, and speak confidently, bridging the gap left by lost teeth.
With today’s technological advancements, dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before. They enhance your smile and support facial muscles, preventing the sagging appearance that can come with tooth loss.
The Different Types Of Dentures
Full Dentures
Full dentures, often called complete dentures, replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Crafted with precision to ensure optimal fit and function, they rest directly on the gums. Modern full dentures are designed to closely mimic natural teeth, ensuring you can smile easily and confidently.
Partial Dentures
When not all teeth are missing, but there are significant gaps, partial dentures can be the ideal solution. These prosthetics fill in the spaces left by lost teeth and prevent other teeth from shifting. Custom-designed to blend with your natural teeth, partial dentures offer a balanced and functional solution to partial tooth loss.
Immediate Dentures
As the name suggests, immediate dentures are provided immediately after tooth extraction. These temporary dentures ensure that you never have to go without teeth. Once your gums heal, they will be replaced with your final, custom-fitted dentures.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures are the answer for those seeking a more stable and secure fit. Supported by dental implants embedded in the jaw, these dentures offer enhanced stability, eliminating adhesive need and reducing the risk of slippage.
Denture Care, Exams, & Maintenance
Proper care of your dentures is paramount to prolong their life and ensure optimal oral health. Regular cleaning, avoiding abrasive substances, and storing them properly will keep your dentures looking and feeling great. Regular exams are vital, too, ensuring the ongoing fit and integrity of your dentures and assessing the health of your gums and remaining teeth.
Denture Relines & Soft Relines
Over time, the shape of your gums and jaw can change, leading to dentures that might feel loose or uncomfortable. Relining involves adding a new layer to the tissue side of the denture, ensuring a snug fit. Soft relines offer a gentler, cushioned option for those who have sensitive gums or find traditional relines uncomfortable.
Rebase & Repairs
Rebasing involves replacing the entire acrylic base of your denture while retaining the existing teeth. This is often done if the base becomes worn out or cracked. Accidents happen, and should your denture break, crack, or lose teeth, our team is here to offer prompt and efficient repairs.
